Box for Linux

What's new

• Audit a file or log locally. Point Box at a file — say, a system log — and ask it to audit it (e.g. "audit /var/log/dmesg for anything suspicious"). It reads the whole thing, even files far larger than the model can normally take in one go, and writes a summary report. A progress bar shows how it's going, and you can stop it any time.
• On-the-fly file access. The assistant is no longer limited to a single workspace folder. Turn on Allow access outside the workspace (Preferences → Tools → Filesystem) and it can request any file — Box asks your permission for each path, showing exactly what it wants to open. Choose Allow once, for this chat, or always, and manage the paths you've always-allowed from the same settings page.

Also fixed

• The context-window setting now updates the usage indicator straight away, and adjusting it no longer kicks off repeated model reloads while you change the value.
• A file audit that's stopped partway through now shows what it actually found, instead of incorrectly reporting that nothing turned up.

Install

sudo apt install ./box_0.2.0_amd64.deb

Dependencies are pulled automatically. Launch Box from your app menu or run box. Upgrading from v0.1.0 just installs over the top — your chats, models, and settings are kept.

Requirements

• Ubuntu/Debian (amd64) with a GTK4 / libadwaita desktop session
• Python 3.14 (pulled as a dependency)
• ~3–4 GB free storage for a model
• CPU-only works fine; GPU acceleration is faster but optional
